Aeroplan to RBC Rewards/Avion Swap
If anyone is looking for a relatively efficient way to transfer from Aeroplan to RBC Rewards, it seems that this may be the least lossy way:
Need Aeroplan, EssoExtra, and RBC Rewards memberships and points.com account.
Transfer between 15000 - 50000 AE "miles" at points.com
to
Esso Extra and transfer at essoextra.com
to
RBC Rewards
Net is 0.693 * AE miles
Might be useful under certain circumstances.
Anyone know of any better transfer method between the two?

If you spend $2500 at Esso, you'll get 2500 Esso Extra points = 1500 RBC points which is 2250 BA points if you take advantage of the often available 1.5 point offer.
On the other hand, spending $2500 at Esso, even with the Aeroplan double point offer, you're only getting 1667 AP miles.
What a rip-off, Aeroplan!

....exactly....use avion and esso and for $2500 spend get 6000 BA miles on the 1:1.5. better yet, have a company that pays for your gas and do the foregoing and spend nothing and get 2.4 BA miles for every dollar your company spends as they reimburse you for doing your job.

Though I don't complain - I (my company) spends 5-6k a year on fuel (minimum), so that nets me a nice few AP miles for no $ out of my pocket

Spending $2,500 on supreme would net you 2,500 esso extra points.. on their double promo would be 5,000 points..
Been collectng esso extra miles for 15 years..

I think you get 1 point for every $3 spent on regular.. so Supreme triple of regular would be 1 point for every $1 spent.. and double promo would be 2 points for every $1 spent..
You're rght in terms of Esso Extra Ponts..

For example, I could use my gold Amex and get double AE points for every dollar I spend on gas at Esso and get what we talked about over and above the cc points..
I can't really answer your transferring question.. but I've long accepted its not worth trying to convert between the two programs for myself..
